Abstract
Description
- The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for forming a reminder rib in a grip, and more particularly to a reminder rib in a golf club grip.
- While some golfers and club makers prefer to use a grip that is simply round, or circular in cross-section, there are those who do prefer a grip with the reminder rib. The golf grip manufacturers and suppliers try to accommodate customers in both of these market segments by making and stocking grip models in both forms. One form has the round core or wall section. The other form has a ribbed core or one formed by an inner wall with a flat on one side to cause the protruding slightly raised rib once the grip is installed on the club shaft. Manufacturing and maintaining an inventory of these two separate grip models adds complexity and costs to the golf grip manufacturers and suppliers businesses.
- The present disclosure provides a method for forming a grip with a reminder rib. The grip is molded on a core bar or mandrel that has an axial groove of a selected depth and length. As the elastomeric material is molded on and around the core bar, the grip is formed with a rib extending axially in the interior of the grip.
- The present disclosure is also directed to the apparatus for forming a grip with a reminder rib. Sleeves constructed to fit on a core bar of a compression mold have an axial groove of a selected depth and length disposed axially on the sleeve. When the sleeve is placed on the core bar and an elastomeric material molded thereon, the completed grip has a reminder rib situated axially in the interior of the grip.
- The present disclosure is further directed to an improved core bar constructed for use in a mold with the core bar having an axial groove with a selected depth and length axially disposed therein.

FIG. 12 is a process flow chart identifying the steps of the present disclosure. - Referring to the figures, which are not intended to limit the present disclosure and where like numerals designate like or similar features throughout the several views, and first in particular to
FIG. 1 , there is shown a sectional view of agolf club grip 10 positioned on agolf club shaft 12. While the present disclosure finds specific utility to golf club grips and will be described in reference thereto, it should be understood that the present disclosure should not be construed to as being limited to only golf club grips. The present disclosure is equally applicable to any hand grip. Golfclub grip club 10 is what is known in the art as a slip-on style golf club grip. The term “slip-on” as employed herein is intended to refer to a grip that is designed to slide onto a handle orshaft 12 and be secured with a double sided adhesive tape or other suitable method. As seen inFIG. 2 ,grip 10 is substantially circular and mounted with its interior wallproximate shaft 12 so as to maintain its fairly circular shape. - Some individuals prefer to have a reference on a grip in a location that allows one to quickly hold the grip in a manner that is familiar to them for a given task. For a golfer, this rib is located on the underside or back of the grip. The United States Golf Association (“U.S.G.A.”) and the current Rules of Golf has a set of rules for golf that requires grips on any golf clubs other than putters to be circular in cross-section. This rule does create an exception in that a continuous, straight, slightly raised rib on the back of the grip may be incorporated along substantially the full length of the grip. This rib is often referred to as a “reminder” rib. The reminder rib assists the golfer in quickly identifying hand position on the grip as well as proper positioning of the hands for the grip. The rules of golf interpret the term “slightly raised” as meaning that the maximum and minimum diameters of the cross-section at any point of the grip must not differ by more than about 0.04 inches or about 1 millimeter (mm) for these types of golf grips. As stated in the golf rules, this measurement is taken using a pair of calipers, laser micrometer, or other similar device. A standard length golf grip is approximately 254 mm in length and the term “full length of the grip” is interpreted to mean that the rib must extend to within approximately 76 mm of the tip. This is the portion of the golf grip closest to the club face. This is considered sufficient to cover the span of a golfer's hand on the grip.
-
FIG. 3 depicts in cross sectional view aprior art grip 14 used to form areminder rib 16. Aflat portion 18 was molded into thegrip 14. Whengrip 14 is placed on ashaft 12, theflat portion 18 causes that portion to bulge out forming thereminder rib 16. - Depending upon the durometer of the grip material and the thickness of the cross section of the grip, these changes can affect the height of the reminder rib as the grip tapers down the golf shaft. The reminder rib height varies as well as the width of the resulting surface bulge of the sides of the reminder rib. This means the wider the base the higher the reminder rib is in height, but the wider the width of the bulge section. Thus, the resulting feel of the reminder rib can become diminished to the golfer.
- To function correctly the reminder rib should be fairly parallel to the axis of the shaft at all times and be fairly normal on the center of the back of the shaft and grip although a plus or minus of approximately five degrees to ten degrees may still be usable or even preferable to some golfers. Therefore, location is difficult to control quickly and consistently in making a grip and in positioning the grip correctly on the shaft.
- As shown in
FIGS. 4-6 , the present disclosure forms agrip 20 with arib 22 extending on aninterior surface 24 ofgrip 20. When thegrip 20 is mounted on ashaft 12 as seen inFIG. 4 , theinterior rib 22 causes areminder rib 26 to form, by bulging outwards, on theouter surface 28 of the grip. As previously mentioned, the height of a reminder rib in order to comply with U.S.G.A. rules must be equal to or less than approximately 1 millimeter. Consequently, the height h ofinterior rib 22 is selected so that when thegrip 20 is mounted on theshaft 12 thereminder rib 26 does not exceed 1 mm in height. - While
rib 22 inFIG. 5 is shown as a V-shaped rib with aflat bottom 23, it should be understood thatrib 22 can have a more rounded form, like a hill, or be in the shape of a sharper V without a flat bottom. Whengrip 20 is correctly mounted on agolf club shaft 12,interior rib 22 causes the formation of thereminder rib 26. As seen inFIG. 6 ,interior rib 22 extends axially in a linear manner on the interior surface of the portion of the grip. The outside surface is intended for use as the underside orback side surface 29 of thegrip 20. - To form
grip 20 withinterior rib 22, an improvedcore bar 40 has an axial slot orgroove 42 cut in the outer surface 44 over substantially the length of thecore bar 40 as best seen inFIGS. 7 and 8 .Core bar 40 is fairly cylindrical in structure and has amolding portion 46 and ahandle portion 48. While amolding portion 46 ofcore bar 40 appears substantially cylindrical inFIG. 7 , it should be understood that themolding portion 46 for a golf club grip may include a slight taper.Groove 42 in order to comply with the Rules of Golf must extend to within approximately 76 mm of the tip of the grip, that is, the end of the grip closest to the club face. A golf grip typically is approximately 254 mm in length sogroove 42 can range in length from approximately 178 mm to approximately 254 mm. Of course, these ranges are being provided for illustrative purposes and are not intended to be limiting the present disclosure thereto. - The
molding portion 46 ofcore bar 40 is positioned fairly centrally within acompression mold 32 as seen inFIG. 9 . In an alternate embodiment,core bar 40 may be used with an injection mold. An elastomeric material is placed into the mold, for example trapezoidal shaped strips of elastomeric material, are placed in the upper andlower cavity sections compression mold 32 and then heated at a temperature with a compressive force sufficient to join and vulcanize the elastomeric material to form agrip 20 with theinterior rib 22. The core bar is situated in the mold so that theinterior rib 22 is formed on the underside or back 29 of thegrip 20. As used herein the term “elastomeric” material is intended to include but not be limited to rubber both natural and synthetic, silicone, or an elastomer, or any combinations thereof.Core bar 40 includes ahandle portion 48 to facilitate insertion and removal of thecore bar 40 from the mold. In the injection process, the elastomeric material may be introduced into the mold in liquid, pellet, or strip form. - Returning to
FIG. 8 , the size of thegroove 42 will depend upon the selected elastomeric material and thickness of the cross-section of the grip. For illustrative purposes for a golf club grip,groove 42 has a width w that ranges from approximately 0.75 mm to approximately 4.70 mm, and a depth d that ranges from approximately 0.75 mm to approximately 2.54 mm.Groove 42 as seen inFIG. 7 includes a flat bottom 43 to create theflat bottom 23 ofinterior rib 22. As mentioned previously, other embodiments include any shape forgroove 42 to form the corresponding shape for theinterior rib 22. Theimproved core bar 40 withgroove 42 allows for more control in making an interior rib that as a result allows for greater control in the design and formation of thereminder rib 26 when thegrip 20 is installed on ashaft 12. -
FIGS. 10 and 11 depict an alternate embodiment of thecore bar 50 in accordance with the present disclosure.Core bar 50 is structurally similar tocore bar 40, but themolding portion 56 has a diameter d1 less than the diameter of the molding portion ofcore bar 40. The reduced diameter d1 ofcore bar 50 receives asleeve 52 with a slot or groove 54 cut into thesleeve 52.Sleeve 52 is constructed to be removably attached to themolding portion 56 of thecore bar 50 with a fastener, like a set screw for example, through one or more threadedopenings 60. An alternate embodiment ofsleeve 52 may includesleeve 52 being threadably received onto themolding portion 56 ofcore bar 50 as seen with the dashed threadedlines 62 oncore bar 50.Core bar 50 includes ahandle portion 58 and is used in the molding process in a similar manner to that previously described with respect tocore bar 40. The feature of using a removable threadedsleeve 52 according to the present disclosure allows onecore bar 50 to be used for forming a regular type ofgrip 10 as shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 with a sleeve that has no axial groove, and agrip 20 according to the present disclosure by using asleeve 52.Groove 54 is cut into thesleeve 52 in a similar manner and form as previously described with respect tocore bar 40. -
FIG. 12 is a process flow chart identifying the steps of the present disclosure. The process begins withstep 70 by providing a suitable mold for the grip. As mentioned earlier the mold may be a compression mold or an injection mold. In thenext step 72, an axial groove is provided for a core bar to be used with the mold. The core bar is then positioned in the mold instep 74. Elastomeric material is placed in the mold instep 76. Thisstep 76 in whole or in part may be performed prior to step 74. For example, in a compression molding process some of the elastomeric material may be placed in alower section 36 of thecompression mold 32, and then thecore bar core bar upper section 34. An elastomeric material may also be placed in the mold by way of an injection molding process with the elastomeric material in pellet or liquid form to make thegrip 20 with aninterior rib 22 situated axially along an intendedunderside portion 29 of the grip.Step 78 forms thegrip 20 with aninterior rib 22 such that when thegrip 20 is placed on a shaft 12 areminder rib 26 is formed. - While specific embodiments of the disclosure have been shown and described in detail to illustrate the application of the principles of the disclosure, it will be understood that the disclosure may be embodied otherwise without departing from such principles.
